How
cute... The bar is called "Tronky" and it's shaped like
a trunk of a tree. It can keep it's shape so well because it's not
covered in chocolate, in fact this bar is covered with wafer and filled
with chocolate. The filling is actually a chocolate hazelnut cream,
like Nutella.

It's kind of interesting
and creative how this bar is designed. It's like the reverse of most
chocolate bars you see on the market. The obsession, in most parts
of the world, is to cover something yummy in chocolate, and that's
fine and dandy. These guys instead choose to cover they're treat in
wafer, and it makes so much sense.

The reason so many chocolate
bar companies use crappy quality chocolate is they don't want the
bar to melt in your hand while you're eating it. What you often end
up with is a wafer, or cookie, or nuts, which may not be that special,
covered in crappy chocolate. Instead the folks at Ferrero use the
strength of the wafer to hold in they're slightly melty chocolate.
And we all know that most of the time that slightly melty chocolate
means higher quality chocolate. I think more companies should think
about wrapping their bars in stronger sweet materials and consider
improving the quality of their interiors.
